Harris May Yet Be Reinstated
Joe Harris, once traded with Elmer Smith, is currently on the ineligible list after deserting to Oil City from the reserved list. He returned home from active service and proved himself, but the Indian management would not meet his terms. He is not a contract jumper and may be reinstated, with the Red Sox holding ultimate choice among several other players if organized baseball refuses to take him back.
